On Wednesday there was a bombing at the US Consulate in Benghazi and then on Thursday I received the below from an anonymous trusted informant.Am in Benghazi right now and got caught up in yesterday's demonstration by armed Salafi/Islamist brigades on the corniche while going for a Thursday evening stroll. They were there to attend a meeting on the promotion of Sharia in Libya—but the fact that they came heavily armed was quite striking. Dozens of pickups mounted with heavy weapons, bearing stickers of at least a dozen different brigades, most of them from Benghazi, but some from Darnah and Misrata. Lots of black flags with the Shahada, lots of guys with long beards; those who wore masks were probably covering their lack of beard... Anyway, it was all quite worrying.
